The web app is an online drawing program that claims to replace desktop software such as Visio or Smartdraw.
You can create:
Flow Charts
Workflow documents
Class Diagrams
Network Diagrams
Website layouts/wireframes
Floor plans
Gliffy allows you to export your diagrams in the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format, an open standard. Once you have the file you can open it with any that supports SVG, like Microsoft Visio and Adobe Illustrator.
Gliffy is only a pimple on the face of Viso or SmartDraw. Web-based drawing programs can not compete with the complex feature set required by most people that need the better drawing capabilities that Gliffy can only dream of.
Server logs suggest that Ms. Woods works for SmartDraw.
Steve, thank you very much for reviewing Gliffy.
Smart Draw and Visio are both excellent products and we have much respect for them both. It is absolutely true that Gliffy will never attempt to implement all of the features that SmartDraw and Visio offer. Gliffy is a different product all together that is focused on providing only the most commonly used drawing features, and enabling simple sharing and collaboration of drawings.
best regards,
